The Leith men will now take on the Paisley outfit at 6pm on Wednesday, December 23 after a joint request by both clubs to change the start time from its previous 7:45pm slot.

It is the second midweek match to be moved with the home fixture against Ross County on Wednesday, December 30 also shifted to a 6pm kick-off earlier this week.

Those games either side of Christmas come during a hectic spell of five league fixtures in 14 days around the festive period which starts with Dundee United visiting Easter Road on Saturday, December 19 and ends with another home match against Livingston on Saturday, January 2.

Jack Ross’ men will also face Rangers at Ibrox on Boxing Day – the only away fixture for the Hibees during that busy fortnight.
